Lauren Fox created The Evolution of Joni Mitchell, after being inspired by David Yaffes passionate, brilliant biography, Reckless Daughter. In chronological order, Lauren takes us on a captivating and enlightening journey through Joni Mitchells life and music!From early folk to folk-rock, to jazz and pop music, Joni Mitchell continually evolved and pushed the envelope, defying critics and fans, who wanted her to stay the lithe and lovely, gentle folk faerie that they fell in love with in the 60s. Joni is a true pioneer, blazing a trail for women in music for decades to come, by never compromising her artistry.Throughout the show, Lauren and her pianist/narrator Andrew Powers use excerpts from Reckless Daughter to tell the stories behind songs, stringing together the story of Jonis life, through her music. Songs include: Both Sides Now, Big Yellow Taxi, Chelsea Morning, Woodstock, The Circle Game, A Case Of You, Free Man in Paris, Hejira, Night Ride Home, and Turbulent Indigo.Laurens past three solo shows Love, Lust, Fear & Freedom: The Songs Of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen; Canyon Folkies: Over the Hills & Under the Covers; and Groupies: The Muses Behind the Legends of Rock & Roll have received critical acclaim from, among others, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. She has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Centers Rose Theater, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall, Subculture NYC, The Crazy Coqs (London), and has headlined at performing arts centers across the country.Lauren is joined on stage by Andrew Powers as pianist and Reckless Daughter narrator, plus musicians Peter Calo (Carly Simon, Sophie B. Hawkins) on guitar, and Jeff Eyrich (Tim Buckley, Bette Midler) on bass.Friday, July 8, 2022 7:30pmTickets $40, Stage Tables $45
